Lorna Belling, desperate to escape the marriage from hell, falls for the charms of another man who promises her the earth. But, as Lorna finds, life seldom follows the plans you've made. A chance photograph on a client's mobile phone changes everything for her. When the body of a woman is found in a bath in Brighton, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace is called to the scene. At first it looks an open and shut case with a clear prime suspect. Then other scenarios begin to present themselves, each of them tantalizingly plausible, until, in a sudden turn of events, and to his utter disbelief, the case turns more sinister than Grace could ever have imagined.… (altro)

Goed, spannend en meeslepend. Een ouderwetse Peter James, precies zoals ik het van hem verwacht. Ik ga niet teveel over het verhaal vertellen, want dit is deel 13 van de serie over inspecteur Roy Grace, wiens eigen persoonlijke leven als een rode draad door het boek loopt.
Als een dode jonge vrouw wordt gevonden en er wordt vastgesteld dat ze door geweld om het leven is gekomen, duiken er al gauw een paar verdachten op en aan Roy en zijn team de taak om goed uit te zoeken wie de dader is geweest.
Ik weet niet of het komt doordat ik heb boek in een dag of twee heb uitgelezen, maar het viel me wel op dat er iets teveel herhalingen en uitleg inzitten die ik eerder in het boek ook al was tegengekomen. Dat wordt dan voor mijn waardering een halve ster minder. ( )

The 13th novel in the series starts with a murder. That's not unusual for the series but there is something different - we see what happens, we see who dies, we see the killer but we do not know who the killer is - but there are chapters showing the thoughts of the killer. Besides that, it is a straightforward mystery with the team working on it and things slowly falling into place. Except when they don't - while the ending was not exactly surprising by the time it actually came, it was not where I expected the novel (or the series) to go. And in Roy Grace's private world, his son Bruno is now here to stay. ( )

A good thriller. Read it in one sitting. Love getting the realistic insight into how UK policing works. ( )

I have never read a bad, or even a mediocre book by this author. Every one... from this series to his standalones, are incredible. The chapters are short and each one contains even more information about Lorna Belling's killer. The suspects start to pile up and it becomes harder and harder for the reader to decide who the guilty party was. Each suspect presented makes perfect sense and had every reason and opportunity to have committed the crime. Then...the bomb drops and I'm willing to bet that everyone...just like me...will be wrong. Fun ride, Mr. James. ( )

This is an above average, maybe excellent, modern English police procedural. There's a strong crime story and a poignant personal story about Grace's new-found son, both of which kept me reading to the satisfying end.
It's much like some of the better Louise Penny books, which I mean as high praise.
Recommended. ( )
